Wind Watchers

Speechless

Middle school was supposed to be a fresh start for Mira, who struggles to speak in class even though she can speak at home without a problem. Her former best friend, Chloe, has become her worst enemy, and Mira's only solace is making videos for her secret stop-motion animation channel.

Vanya and the Wild Hunt

Amari and the Night Brothers meets Nevermoor in critically-acclaimed author Sangu Mandanna's enchanting middle grade fantasy, inspired by Indian mythology and British folklore, about a neurodivergent girl, a mysterious school, and a world of magical creatures.

Teen Reads

Divining the Leaves

A contemporary fantasy about two teens, one a believer of magic who yearns to belong, the other a skeptic searching for an escape, who find themselves embroiled in a twisty world of court intrigue when they venture into a forest ruled by yakshas, mysterious woodland spirits drawn from Hindu and Buddhist folklore.
